Absolutely fantastic such a fabulous place to stay and right near the beaches and Aberdovey and Tywnn and the walks are amazing . Loved the hot tub and the veiw of the sea and rolling hills as youre relaxing in the hot tub . The cottage is beautiful and the sheep are adorable and so are the owners as nothing is too much trouble and very welcoming b ut respectful of your privacy. We will be going back thats for sure.
Ken
Our stay at the cottage was perfection despite the weather. Rhian and Tom, the owners, were very friendly and helpful. We had a basket of goodies waiting for us when we arrived. Everything we needed was provided, including tea and coffee etc. We were even provided with a free car park pass covering most coastal towns. Our two small dogs had a blast chasing around the fields. We will be certainly returning next year.
Freya
Absolutely beautiful. The view was amazing and so much to do around the area. The cottage was so clean and comfortable. The beds where better than our own. Comfortable and cozy. Would thoroughly recommend staying here. We can't wait to go back.
Kim
Beautiful cottage in a very peaceful and scenic spot.
Karen
Gorgeous cottage in an idyllic location. Hosts Tom & Rhian were fantastic, provided a fantastic welcome basket promoting local produce . Well equipped with everything for the perfect peaceful getaway. Walks from the doorstep and a lovely hot tub to soak those aches away. Would highly recommend. All four of us have come home feeling relaxed and rein vigorated.
Joanne
Tom and Rhian were the most welcoming hosts. Whilst you are staying on a working farm, you are left to your own devices, but they are on hand should you need them. The cottage was absolutely perfect. The location stunning - the views were beautiful. Tom and Rhian had thought of everything that would make the stay as comfortable as possible, and the little treats found in the fridge was a nice touch.
Danielle
Absolutely second to none! The cottage is completely gorgeous, included everything you need and had a beautiful view of the sea with the most loveliest hosts we could have asked for! The towns either side were only a 15-20 minute drive away and were perfect, full of dog friendly cafes. The beach is close enough to walk, or you can park practically next to the sand dunes. Theres plenty of places to walk with Dolgoch waterfalls being our favourite, all in all a perfect holiday! Thank you so much!
Nicola
An absolutely beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Beautifully presented and everything so clean. A lovely welcome from the hosts and really helpful with local walks etc. I would highly recommend this for a weekend with friends (we were four ladies having an annual get together with lots of wine and hot tubs under the stars) but equally great f or a family of four and I would definitely return with the kids.
Kayleigh
Gorgeous cottage, great amenities, fantastic views and lovely welcome basket. The hosts were very friendly, easily contactable and would go out of their way to assist us with everything we needed.
Leanne
This cottage is located on a working farm in an idyllic location with stunning views. Its been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard with no expense spared. The cottage is equipped with absolutely everything you would need. The cottage has a wood burner that was set up just waiting to be lit and we were given extra logs when we ran out. The owners were very friendly and we even had regular visits for the resident dogs. We loved it here and will certainly return.
Janet
We had a wonderful week away. The cottage was absolutely amazing. It had everything we needed was warm and cosy and clean. The hosts were so nice the ewes had started to have their lambs so T on showed us them in the barn and we got to hold new born twins. We went out walking in good weather and stayed in when it snowed just admiring he views. The hot tub was an added extra. I would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.
Daniel
Absolutely fabulous place to stay, great location, superb cottage and facilities, its clean, comfortable and spacious inside and out. We will definitely be visiting again in the future. The fact it was dog friendly was perfect for our furbabies to holiday with us.
Traci
this is a great place to stay. 20min walk over fields to aberdovey. the accomodation was excellent. warm and full of all the equipment you need. it is in the middle of a working farm so sheep and cattle roaming about is a regular sight. Tom and Rhian were great hosts.
Georgina
Fabulous place and lovely people. Even with the rubbish weather still had an excellent time!
Sarah
Had a lovely stay here, the cottage is amazing with everything you could ever wish for. When we arrived there was a basket with cheese, milk , cake and butter, very kind of the owners. We spent our weekend going on lovely walks on the hills, visiting the beach and the local town then coming back to warm up in the hot tub. And we could bring our dog ! We all enjoyed our stay, I would defiantly recommend, thank you.
Joe
Amazing cottage, dog friendly, great location, amazing views !! Hot tub was great. The owners are so friendly aswell! We will definitely be back!
Veronica
Beautiful cottage that is well laid out for two couples without treading on each others toes. Well equipped with everything you need. We stayed over New Year when the weather was pretty bad, so did not have full advantage of the views and stunning location, but still managed to take advantage of the hot tub. Although a working farm and some activit y surrounding the cottage, the lovely owners respect your privacy and will chat if you want to, but leave you alone if not.
Katlin
Lovely place to take your furry family members. Lovely and relaxing stay. Hope to book again for the summer.
Carolyn
We had a fantastic break away. The property was comfortable, clean and warm - we went in November. The surrounding area is stunning with mountains, lakes, beautiful walks and the sea. We absolutely loved it. Would definitely recommend
Jemma
We cannot express enough words to say how wonderful our stay was, All of the excellent finishing touches deserve a round of applause! This is by far the best rental we have accommodated, one we won't hesitate to nominate Our stay was just the right ambiance
Melissa
This was by far one of the nicest accommodation we have stayed in. The attention to detail, the cleanliness & the facilities were second to none. Both Tom & Rhian were friendly & very welcoming & the milk, butter & cheese were thoughtful. The views are outstanding whatever the weather, we loved the amount of natural light. The hot tub was a welcome addition & any walkers did not bother us. The kids loved having playmates as did our dog. On the whole one of the best holidays & we will be back.
Sue
Lovely cottage with great views of the sea
Hayley
We stayed at Ysgubor Glyd for a week in the summer holidays and we had a wonderful time, we are a family of four and one dog. We found the property very spacious and even nicer in person. The seaviews are incredible from the hot tub, main bedroom and the dining room. We spent lots of time in the dining room playing board games and watching the sea and the weather roll in up the mountains. We even were treated to the RAF training drills. Highly recommend. Thank you so much to Rhian, Tom & family.
Emma
A beautiful cottage with a sea view, all that you need for a relaxing break away. The owners were very friendly, the accommodation was very clean and had everything we could need for a weekend away. The hot tub was a welcome addition even in the heatwave! The beach at the bottom of the drive is much quieter than further along into the town so was p eaceful for a sunset walk with the dogs. Would highly recommend and would love to book again!
Allison
Best accommodation I have stayed in within the UK x friendly owners x beautiful views x glad of the parking permit x
Ben
Absolutely fantastic. The hosts are super friendly. More than enough space for 3 adults and 2 dogs. The cottage was set out very nicely and had Everything we needed. The hot tub is great after a long day exploring. However as can be seen in the photos it's not that private with a foot path nearby and the handfull of walkers in the week. Given the h ot tub was so relaxing we didn't mind to much.
Wendy
Had a great stay. Cottage was absolutely fantastic. Finished off to a very high standard. 5star + would definitely recommend to our friends and family. Had some fantastic walks and loved the baby lambs. Would like to return sometime. Thank you Tom & Rhian
Tracy
Absolutely outstanding cottage Tom was welcoming and very helpful will definitely be returning when the holiday season is in full swing or later in September as Aberdovey was a bit quiet and places were closed the cafes and pubs that were open were very friendly. The jacuzzi was very clean and well maintained ( I have owned one for 5 years so was p leased it was like home from home) we enjoyed a few glasses of wine stargazing in the hot bubbles. The sunset was beautiful to watch too.
Joshua
Absolutely beautiful place to stay with so much to do! Perfect place for that relaxing weekend away, gorgeous owners as well!
